Project One: Create a portfolio cover design. A portfolio will be used to keep your work in through out the semester. Paint a textured background using our scraping tools and acrylic paints. Design your letters as a thumbnail sketch plan then use these letters in an enlarged form to create your name in a prominent fashion on this portfolio. Work in a specific colour scheme to paint these letters. Outline the letters with a feltpen. Use creative guidelines to make your lettering consistent.
Use your extra paint to paint the title page of your altered book and add cut magazine letters to create your name.
